Swift-XRT detection of IGR J17098-3626
Abstract
We report the localization of the Integral-discovered X-ray transient IGR J17098-3626 (ATEL #444). IGR J17098-3626 was observed by Swift on May 1st from 16:23 UTC until 18:19 UTC with an exposure time of 2.8ks. The source was predicted to be bright, so the XRT was put into Photon Counting mode for 500s of the observation in order to obtain a position, with the remainder of the observation taken in Window Timing mode.
